Song of the Day

Back in 2015 I started a project called Song of the Day, where I would publish a blog post once daily with a song that I was enjoying that day. The idea was to build a playlist without really knowing where it would go, and then to create a mix with those songs. As it turned out, the list (or playlist) turned into a Spotify playlist. The list of songs is below, along with an embedded Spotify playlist.

Note: Not all songs are available on Spotify, a list of those is at the bottom of this page.
